Great comparison Beez. He's like a bigger, stronger, more explosive punching Jirov.
Austin won that fight because he made extraordinary use of his height advantage. That guy doesn't look like much but he's good at staying out of range and then nailing a smaller guy with a counter when they try to get in. Unlike many fighters, Austin knows how to make adjustments. I would be wary about betting against Ray Austin in the future. You know I wouldn't be surprised if he UD'ed a champion like Sam Peter either. Actually the fight he should try to get is with James Toney, as I think it's a winnable fight for him due to his huge reach and Toney's small size.
I would probably bet real money on Austin vs. Toney just because he'd be an underdog, but a very live one.
yupper. austin is as teddy atlas likes to use "awckwardly clever". that alone will make him difficult for a lot of guys
